First steps: Those of us at the inaugural meeting on 9 June decided
on a two-pronged approach: the local economy group as a resource and the
group as strategist.
1. Resource - We think we can develop a 'resource bank', and a source of
mentoring, for business/enterprise ideas generated by the other
Transition Town groups, so we're an incubator for ideas that need the
leap into business development.
2. Strategy - Our first idea is to examine how the Cooperative Store in
Hebden Bridge could become a genuinely local supermarket, a model for
how a supermarket could truly be a catalyst in a changing local economy.>>
